I moved somewhat recently and have been struggling to adjust my plants and figure out where to put them (the options are basically either full sun all day, or very low indirect light). All of my “fancy” houseplants are miserable. But this little mystery grocery store, planted in the most waterlogged heavy soil inside a decorative box plant that I got for my birthday a month ago has bloomed THREE times and is loving life!

OMG I have one of those too!! Also don’t know the name 😅😅😅 ghost plant frfr
Kalanchoe is a wonderful plant. Just like poinsettia after Christmas, people tend to throw them away after they’re done flowering, but they can be grown and enjoyed for years with good care.
I have kalanchoe in our front yard flower pot. Four different colors. So pretty!
The secret is that indoors you can never have “full sun” directly in a window is only 180 degrees of light
Kalanchoes are unkillable. You could put it in the smallest pot imaginable and let it completely dry out for two weeks at a time and it would still thrive.
Put your other houseplants in the window. The glass does not let through “full sun light”. If you feel that that’s still to much, put up a little shade with some sticks and fabric. Or put a window colour picture thing on the window where the sun would shine through after 1pm. That should filter it enough to avoid sunburns
Bought one at Aldi at Christmas (in a Santa pot) and it’s blooming again now. And still in the Santa exterior pot.
If you keep it in a waterlogged pot for long, it will die. They like to dry out completely between waterings. A well draining pot is also advisable if you want to keep it for years. He would like full sun all day
